A dog is ready for off-leash training when it has a reliable recall and solid impulse control on leash, even around real distractions. Off-leash freedom is earned by proving those skills first — trying it before the foundation is solid is how dogs end up in dangerous situations.
The big one is recall: does your dog come back reliably even when something more interesting is happening? Add strong impulse control — the ability to not chase, bolt, or fixate — and you have the foundation off-leash work is built on.
Off-leash mistakes have real consequences: traffic, wildlife, other dogs. We build off-leash reliability step by step and coach you on when and where it's appropriate, so freedom stays safe.
Every dog begins with a free evaluation. Tell us about your dog and we'll recommend the right path — no pressure.
